Spot Block

Sometimes I hit a hard artblock, and I find myself sketching anything and everything especially with some insane pattern involved.  Often times Spotted felines find themselves to be suitable "SpotBlocks".  That is to say the unusual patterns their pelts have help to unblock...well my art block. 

Here a lovely Ocelot female in a very rough sketch format as I figure out placement, basic lighting and over all figure.  I referenced several Ocelot photos for this and later added some hair.  This will be a painting exercise.
